I have to confess I usually prefer 'less is more', too, but that is in the end personal taste. By the way, I actually would be interessed to know what the german empress though about her colleagues in Britain or Russia. Some times ago Iīve seen a documentary about fashion. It reported about fashion makers in Morroco and notably about the lady who produces those robes. Not comparable to a couturier a Paris. Much more a tailoress with a studio, a manufacture with some women sewing and embroidering. The robes are for moroccian standards expensive and a status symbol. And it was clear that Lalla Salma could order whereever in the world she wants but she decided to wear these very traditonal robes. The key, the fitting has to be larger than the western style, long sleeves, long hem, the shoulder, everything has to be rich. Patterns and colours have to be appropriate to the status of the woman. What I understand was that the robes for Lalla Salma are quite a modern version. She is the first 'First Lady' in Morrocco, the first who is been made a princess, the first wife of a morroccian king who is not invisible. Itīs not without controversy in the country. And so I think itīs a wise decision to take the people, the women where they are.
